ABSTRACT:
A register includes a faceplate having a central area with openings to permit air flow, a box-like housing attached to one side of the faceplate including walls extending about the periphery of the central area, and adjustable dampers supported within the housing between opposed walls for controlling the amount of air flow through the register. The dampers are connected to an adjustment wheel mounted to one of the housing walls. As the adjustment wheel is rotated, a spring member connected between the adjustment wheel and the dampers causes the dampers to rotate about pivot rods extending from each end of the dampers through opposed housing walls. The dampers are assembled into the housing by inserting one pivot rod through a bore in one wall and moving the other pivot rod along an opposed wall within a guide channel which guides the pivot rod into registration with a bore in the opposed wall. When the pivot rod registers with the bore, the biasing force of the opposing member coupled to the damper causes the damper to shift toward the opposed wall so that the pivot rod slides through the bore at the end of the guide channel.
